Andreas Trummer

About

Andreas Trummer is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication, robotics, and architectural design, with a primary focus on the additive manufacturing of concrete elements. His major contributions lie in developing robotic fabrication strategies that transform how complex concrete structures are designed and produced, particularly through the creation of lightweight, freeform ceiling elements. Trummer’s work on the "Additive Fabrication of Concrete Elements by Robots" (2020) has garnered 19 citations, establishing a foundational approach for robotically printed concrete in architecture. He is also known for advancing "Digital-Material Feedback in Architectural Design" (2015, 13 citations), where he integrated computer vision and 3D cameras with industrial robots to create a dynamic, two-way design-and-fabrication process—moving beyond traditional one-way digital workflows. His research on reusable adaptive production strategies for double-curved concrete elements (2016) further demonstrates his commitment to merging analysis with production. Trummer’s achievements include pioneering methods that reduce material waste and enable complex geometries, making him a key figure in the field of robotic construction and digital fabrication.
